| Abstract/Contents: | "A knowledge base detailing nitrogen fate in sand-based golf greens is currently being developed through research conducted at the floating 14th green at the Coeur d'Alene Resort golf course, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. This 'signature hole' green is constructed on a concrete barge and floats on Lake Coeur d'Alene. All the irrigation water applied to the green is monitored as well as the amount of water leaching through the green. The leachate is stored in large tanks under the green and is periodically pumped back to shore. This project is also unique in that we are attempting to determine the location and form of nitrogen on a sand-based green under actual course playing conditions. The project aims to further open lines of communication between the golf course industry and the public by conducting research at a highly visible site. The project to date has focused on background information gathering, equipment evaluation, and equipment purchasing. The design and layout of the floating green has led to a research methodology specific to this project. Site visits to the golf course have provided valuable information in regard to the experiment design. The goal for winter 1997-1998 and spring 1998 is to complete installation of equipment and preliminary testing to insure accuracy and reduce possible experimental error. The majority of experimental data will be taken during 1998 and 1999. The progress expected to be made in the following year include: final installation and calibration of equipment, sample collection and analysis, analysis of the first year's data, and database construction. The anticipated results of this research will further the understanding of the fate of nitrogen in sand-based golf greens. Research findings will be presented at professional meetings and made available to the public via various media formats." |
